Garden City Community College (GCCC) was named “Outstanding College of the Year” by the Rural Community College Alliance (RCCA). GCCC President Herbert J. Swender and other college leadership accepted the award at the RCCA Appreciation Dinner held in Washington, DC. Congressman Tim Huelskamp spoke at the ceremony.

In his remarks, he stressed Fort Riley's state-of-the-art facilities, the high number of deployments of Fort Riley troops, and the $1.6 billion in military construction investments since 2005.
“We treasure Fort Riley not just because we love the soldiers, but because we love our nation, and we understand that we don’t want a budget-driven military. We want a mission-driven military. And Fort Riley provides unique, mission-critical capabilities for the 21st century defense of America."
